Anderson, the video highlights

If Nani is a readymade replacement for Ryan Giggs, then Anderson has the potential to fill Paul Scholes’ big ginger boots. The 19-year-old Brazilian has wonderful vision, tremendous skill (check out the incredible move he does about 1min 30sec in) and pace to burn – not sure if he’s as bad a tackler as Scholesy though.

Looking forward to seeing him in the EPL. I don’t know much of him but this video shows some immense strength, shrugging off tackles at the legs and a howitzer for a shot. If he adapts, he’ll be really entertaining.
